Wolfkiller (open)
Giant escaped Zoo wolf.
He couldn't help but smile.
He'd heard thoughts from people in the City, too. What was going on was on a great many minds, all over the place. Thoughts were easy to catch, even without trying. He knew it wasn't just any wolf. That made it all the more attractive.
Wolfkiller.
The word used to ring in his head, centuries ago. Magnus's taunt, then Nicki's unexpected present-- the wolf-fur cloak and boots. He smiled.
The City was not always a good place for a creature like Lestat. He had not hunted anything to kill it in quite a long time.
This was perfect. And Lestat loved the idea of ridding the City of the wolf, just as he had rid the Auvergne of wolves all those years ago.
He wished he still had the cloak and the boots.
He sat silent on a rooftop, crouched, watching the wolf walk down a mostly empty street. Two others appeared behind it.
"Not as advertised," he said in a growl under his breath.
